Paying for fertility treatments is expensive and so we've compiled the resevoirs of capital available to pay for care. We do not endorse any of these entities, we've only inspected a few of them thoroughly and as always, you must read the fine print.

New York

The State of New York earmarks nearly $1M per year for residents who earn under $195,000 per year and who are good candidates for IVF. We did a thorough rundown of the program here.

Northern California

UCSF runs an innovative, no-frills program for patients living in the Bay Area. When we reviewed the data it looked like costs were about 15% of an IVF cycle with success rates about 40% as good. Here's our synopsis of the program.
